Assigning permissions using Created by or data field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 248

Hello all.  

 

I have a clunky question.  I have a PowerApps form that is connected to a SharePoint list.  The user fills out the form and OnSuccess, a flow creates a PDF and saves the PDF in a SharePoint library on the same site. There are special permissions on the site where only special levels (i.e. Associate's and above) can access.  There is a field on the form that indicates that the document is sensitive so permissions need to be broken to only allow a special SP perm group access.  I have been able to accomplish this using SP Designer. 

 

I am experiencing an issue and wonder if there's a possibility to tweak the permissions such that the creator of a document, even if not an associate, would be given access to that document.   I would also like to assign permissions using 2 people pickers fields that are listed as POCs for the document.  
 

I have been able to break permissions at the document level but not assign them to this user and/or the Point of Contact listed on the POC field.

 
Please let me know if this is a possibility.
 
Thank you for your time.

    Hi @Misa ,

     

    Sorry for there is no any way to assign the permission in Microsoft flow currently.
